Wasn't a fan. With draft grades!

People keep saying O line is a need, but here is my issue with that. Unless you were at practice and know how good Redmond or Westerman or Johnson are then how do you know it's a need? No tackle in this draft was coming in this year and giving us more than Ced or Fisher, worst case we kick Winston or Andre out. If we take an interior O lineman in the 3rd or 4th, what makes you think they are better than Westerman? Just grabbing them for the sake doesn't make them competition, they are competition if the coaches think they could be better.

You can't demand we draft mid round guys for competition every year, but when they finally get a chance to start demand we draft more guys of the same ilk. Maybe we were okay letting Zeitler walk because we knew we had serviceable guys behind him. It just seems weird people are so convinced that there is no way we could have serviceable guys behind our starters on the line.
